Question

Which THREE sets of angles can be used to construct triangles? A) 50°, 65°, 65° B) 45°, 50°, 85° C) 20°, 60°, 100° D) 30°, 60°, 70° E) 20°, 45°, 120°

Answer 1

Answer:

A) 50°, 65°, 65°

B) 45°, 50°, 85°

C) 20°, 60°, 100°

Step-by-step explanation:

To see if the angles can be used to construct triangles, you have to check if the degrees add up to 180 (Since the degrees in a triangle always have to add up to 180 degrees).

A) 50° + 65° +  65° = 180° (Good!)

B) 45° +  50° +  85°  = 180° (Good!)

C) 20° +  60° +  100° = 180° (Good!)

D) 30° +  60° +  70° = 160° (Bad!)

E) 20° +  45° +  120° = 185° (Bad!)
